I have some juicy new information on how this NM pops:
I, myself, have camped this guy for a while now and lately I've been seeing some Japanese Beastmasters and Rangers come to the spawn area and camp against me (NOTE: I knew they were Japanese from their names and their Bazaar comments).

[b]Recon Missions[/b] - Go out a day or an hour prior to when the static gets on to check the areas out. See where the mobs are, where the PTs are camping at, and most importantly getting that area in my search menu. It is essential for checking how many PTs are currently in the zone at YOUR level

I've only seen 1 Tanner's guide out and while it is VERY good, there were some things that I personally changed to make my run to 100 a little easier on myself. So I'm passing along my experience and information to everyone else.
Before we get to the guide, let's go over a couple of pre-guide in

I recently found a handy little Japanese webpage in my internet wanderings that explained in detail how the day of the game week effects success rates on item synths. It was a bit hard to read, though, so I translated it for my own use. Unfortunately, I can't find the web page again. However, I s
